1) Your board and CPU are not compatible. The Board is an FM2+ socket and CPU is AM3+
2) No point buying 1866Mhz RAM because FX cpus can't effectively use more than 1600 anyway.
3) The PSU you have chosen is not very good quality and I recommend a 600W.


Here is a much better and compatible config:

Hi again
I know you already did alot, and i'm grateful for that.
But can you lower the price down to about 450 pounds?
I can get the GTX 770 2GB for around 100 pounds, so can you fit the rest together for 350 pound? Thanks ahead :)
